Key concepts
Viewing an investigation
The Investigation Details page (/hr/employee-relations/investigations/:id) displays the full record for a single ER investigation, including type, status, dates, investigator, linked incidents, and documents, with edit and action options.
The page uses useInvestigationDetail to load by :id and sets a breadcrumb. A status badge is shown (secondary for open, default for in_progress, outline for completed/closed). Tabs include case details, linked incidents, a CaseDocuments component, and timeline. Organization context is available. A PermissionGate controls which actions are shown. An Edit button navigates to the edit form.
Before you start: the investigation record must exist in your organization.
- Navigate to HR → Employee Relations → Investigations and click a row, or go to
/hr/employee-relations/investigations/:id. - Review the status, type, dates, and investigator assignment.
- Switch to the Documents tab to review attached files.
- Click Edit to update the investigation record.

The route renders InvestigationFormPage in edit mode (because the id param is present). The existing record is fetched via useInvestigationDetail. Source fields (source_incident_id, source_grievance_id, source_disciplinary_id) are cleaned based on the source_type UI field before submission. On submit, updateMutation.mutateAsync is called.
